What do guinea pigs, apes, some fruit bats and humans have in common? They all share the inability to produce their own ascorbic acid (vitamin C). All other animals produce vitamin C endogenously, or inside their own bodies.

Scientists believe they have evidence suggesting that humans used to produce their own ascorbic acid from an enzyme produced in the liver. But something happened and humans now depend on dietary sources of vitamin C.

Guinea pigs, apes, some fruit bats and humans share another trait: The tendency to develop coronary heart disease. The development of heart disease only occurs in animals and humans that lack adequate intake of ascorbates through dietary sources.

It has also been observed that zoo animals, such as gorillas fed processed "gorilla chow" readily develop heart disease unless they are supplied with adequate amounts of ascorbates.

By comparing the amount of vitamin C produced endogenously in animals that do not develop heart disease, we can get a good idea of how much vitamin C is essential to maintain cardiovascular health in humans.
Goats, cows, dogs, cats, squirrels and rabbits manufacture ascorbic acid at a rate of about 10 g per 70 kg (154 pounds) of body weight. In other words, to achieve the levels of ascorbic acid produced by animals that do not develop coronary heart disease, a 154-pound human would need to ingest 10 g of dietary or supplemental vitamin C daily.

Noting that 1,000 mg = 1 g, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has established the U.S. Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) for vitamin C at 35 mg for infants; 45-50 mg for children and 60 mg for adults.
According to the FDA, humans require about 200 times less vitamin C than animals to maintain optimal health.

The late Dr. Fred Klenner was one of the world's foremost authorities on vitamin C. He believed that the government's concept of daily minimal intakes should be abolished because, "The physiological requirements [for ascorbic acid] in man are no different than other mammals capable of carrying out this synthesis."

Judging from the numbers of people being stricken by and succumbing to heart disease in the U.S., it would appear that Dr. Klenner (and doctors Pauling, Irwin Stone, Glenn Dettman and Archie Kalokerinos) are correct about the levels of ascorbic acid necessary to maintain optimal cardiovascular health.

What Others Are Saying.

Diagnosed with
abdominal cancer considered terminal in November
2002. Interviewed August 2006

Tim M. - Washington

"I am 74, have had
four heart attacks, two by-pass operations, a
quad and the last a triple in 2002. Since I have
been on ASH products my cholesterol is under
200, I have had no angina heart pain, no
shortness of breath, my circulation in my legs (claudification)
is greatly improved and I have not been sick for
a day with any colds, flu, sniffles etc."

Paul D. - California

A year ago I was
diagnosed with bladder cancer- undoubtedly from
years of smoking. Cancer is such a terrifying
word, I Googled the net for alternative cancer
protocols- protocols that give back the body
what it needs instead of resorting to drugs and
surgery. As one afflicted with cancer, I learned
from ASH how to alkalize my body as cancer cells
can only survive in an acid condition. The
learning goes on- week after week- and I invite
anyone who really wants to understand and
benefit from all-natural, non-pharmaceutical
modalities, to become an ASH member. I, for one,
am extremely grateful for discovering this
amazing program!

I started on your
products in spring 2006. I was diagnosed with
Meneire's disease many years earlier and the
ringing in my ears was almost unbearable since
2002. The [Master Formula I], now the [No Fool i],
has had a massively positive impact. Only rarely
does the noise bother me (usually when I neglect
to take the product for a day or two) and within
a half hour after taking the [No Fool i] the
noise drops down to nearly nothing. This product
gave me my life back. I have experimented with
times and dosages and am positive it is that
particular product has helped my body heal.
Thank you so much!

Caroline J. - Alabama

ASH products are
great for me. I had arthritis, enlarged
prostate, high blood pressure. I no longer have
any of these problems once I got my body pH up
to 7.5 . I've been using [Master Formula II],
[RAANOW] and [NO FOOL I] since Aug 05 with NO
side affects.

I have to admit, at
first, I was very skeptical (we all should be)
about what you are about to discover. But after
several month's of researching and then taking
the ASH products... now my whole family is on
them. Information and products from ASH needs to
be shared. If you desired true health and are
seeking better choices. Search no more,
information in this web pages will help guild
you to " a wonderful changes". I challenge you
to join me and start taking better care of
yourself and your family.
